North Douglas Warriors Softball 3-5 St. Helens

St. Helens defeated North Douglas 5-3 in a non-league softball game Friday evening in Winston, Oregon, handing the Far West League (3A) Warriors their fourth loss of the season. The visiting Lions capitalized on key opportunities to pull away from North Douglas in what became a competitive back-and-forth contest. The Warriors entered the game with an impressive 16-3 record but couldn't maintain their recent momentum against a determined St. Helens squad. Despite the setback, North Douglas remains in strong position within Far West League play with a 9-2 conference mark. The loss drops the Warriors to 16-4 overall, but their solid league standing keeps them well-positioned for postseason considerations. Head coach will likely use this non-league result as a learning opportunity while focusing on the team's continued league success. North Douglas has shown resilience throughout the spring season, and this setback against quality non-league competition should provide valuable experience. The Warriors will look to rebound quickly as they prepare for their next contest and work toward securing their playoff positioning in the coming weeks.
